Neil Armstrong's funeral was held yesterday in Washington, DC at the National Cathedral. But even before today's services, he held a special connection to this building. Neil Armstrong with his fellow Apollo astronauts gave a moon rock to the cathedral on the 5th anniversary of their walk on the moon.
The small sliver of rock was sealed in glass and used by artist Rodney Winfield to create a beautiful stained glass window called the Space Window. The design was inspired by photos from the Apollo 11 mission. The moon rock can be seen in the center of the red circle.
